Too much power is placed in the central 

government.

The people must understand that there is a 

large amount of power needed in order to 

preserve the union.

The new form of government has been 

created with the nation's best interests in 

mind. This includes the interests of the 

people. If it had not been made this way, it 

would have rightfully been rejected.

State Governments will indirectly have power 

over the federal governments. They will elect 

the federal officials. In addition to this, state 

governments will have many more employees 

than the federal government.

State Governments will mainly be focused on 

internal affairs while the federal government 

will focus on external affairs. The state 

governments will also be more necessary 

during times of peace which will occur much 

more often than times of war.

The concepts of the new constitution are not 

different from the ones found in the Articles of 

Confederation. Rather, they are a 

strengthening of these original concepts. The 

main issue is in the federal power to tax, but 

the only difference is in the focus on the 

individual rather than on the state.

People are concerned about whether the 

federal, or the state government will be 

supported more. These people must 

understand that they are not two separate, 

competing governments, but rather, are 

designed to work in harmony and with the best 

interests of the people in mind.

The federal and state governments will 

provided checks and balances with one 

another. Here the advantage is clearly with 

state governments as the people are more 

vested in the governments of the states.

The federal government would not take any 

risk of endangering the favor of the people by 

attempting to enforce oppressive legislation 

over that states. Even if such legislation was 

passed, the citizens of the states would simply 

refuse to comply with it.

If the federal government wasn't responsive to 

the protest of the people, the states could 

easily unite and overthrow the government, so 

why would the government be foolish enough 

not to listen to the people? Clearly it is 

established with their best interests in mind.
